I love the GF treats and coffee at Leviathan! I also appreciate the pricing and feel like I'm getting a great value with high quality food and beverage. They have a wonderful selection and friendly staff.The walking cakes are the perfect size to satisfy a sweet craving for a random celebration! The coffee is great and I appreciate that oat milk is a standard option. I love the seasonal Summon the Linzer latte when it's available. They also have great birthday rewards, so sign up now!The location is great. It's within a short walk to the Monon trail, the Old Northside, and Bottleworks. I would note that people with strollers or wheelchairs would likely need some assistance getting inside. The ramp is at the other end of the building near the hooka lounge.

Absolutely loved my little trip to Leviathan Bakehouse! This cafe/bakery is super cozy and sweet. It's quite small inside, but there's a lot of seating packed into the little space. During peak hours on a Saturday, there were definitely groups waiting for tables to open up. Online/to-go orders were flying off the shelves! The staff was cranking out drinks and fulfilling orders so quickly and efficiently. The pastries are incredible!! The pistachio croissant with its shiny green exterior was fantastic! The pain au chocolate was also leagues above other chocolate croissants I have eaten before. The line to place an order was long, but I enjoyed having several minutes to gawk at the display case and study all the great options. I would love to come back to try their small menu of breakfast options, but it was too busy this particular weekend.

By far, the best bakery and cafe in Indianapolis downtown area. They specialize in baked goods and fresh breads, but their coffees are pretty good too. They have an indoor and outdoor seating space, and you will often find many fur babies enjoying the patio here. My favorite is their almond croissant and honey pistachio latte. The latte is not too sweet and still very high on flavor. They don't charge extra for milk alternatives. I love that they offer online ordering which has been very useful for me when parking is difficult. After placing order online, you still have to check in with the staff but they make sure to get you your order fresh and quickly.

When I walked into Leviathan it was packed with people so I was confident it was going to be a great experience. The baked goods looked amazing and very tempting. I am not the biggest croissant lover but I chose the sandwich because I wanted something filling. I was underwhelmed by the sandwich unfortunately. The flavors were there but because it was dry that took away from the experience

If you live in Chatham Arch, Old Northside, Herron Morton or Lockerbie, holy crap this is place is amazing. LOVE their croissants of ever variety, quiches and their sandwiches. Lattes here are well poured and they usually have Mexican coke in the fridge. Parking is annoying on the side street but its always a fun walk for me through Chatham Arch.

We come here every month or two to have a late breakfast together on the weekend and always have the best time. Sometimes we will sit inside, sometimes outside (and if it's really nice weather, then we'll even bring our dogs and sit outside with them). The first time I ever came here my best friend had me order the breakfast sandwich and I've never looked back. I usually despise ham on any sandwiches, but this isn't your typical lunch meat cut and it's actually really tasty. The verde sauce brings the perfect amount of moisture to the buttery croissant and it's piled up with bacon. I always think about trying the biscuits and gravy, but then I am worried I won't like it as much as the breakfast sandwich and chicken out lolWe each got a caramel latte and a breakfast sandwich. We also always get two different pastries to split with each other. Today we chose the kouign-amann and the strawberry guava croissant. Both were so tasty and buttery, but the strawberry guava was filled with the most decadent cream and fresh fruit jam, so it was our favorite this visit.Before leaving we stopped back in to grab some iced drinks to cool down with and got the strawberry hibiscus tea and the herbaceous lemonade. Both are the perfect amount of sweet and taste very fresh! I love how much sage comes through in the herbaceous lemonade.The staff are always friendly and the bathrooms are always clean. Definitely recommend stopping in if you are in the Chatham Arch neighborhood. There is also a beautiful plant shop next door to check out after eating!

The line to order was steady on a Saturday morning and I can understand why. If you plan on going then make sure you account for a line or I did see other people ordered ahead which is also an option. I got the breakfast sandwich which came with their homemade croissants. It was very filling. The Chocolate Chip Zucchini Coffee Cake Slice was fresh and spongy and I wish I would've gotten more baked goods. The iced carmel latte with almond milk was delicious as well. They also had some coffee cups, coffee grounds and items you could grab while in line to buy. There isn't a lot of parking but I did see street parking nearby or it did seem like a good amount of people just stop in so they aren't parked too long.

I had croissants and a lavender latte! The lavender latte was just delicious. I could taste the flower note without being over powering! The croissants were also wonderful very flaky. The croissant stuffed with ham and cheese was so good! The service was wonderful. Very interactive. The cafe was full of patrons at 10am on a week day.

Yesterday was National Croissant Day, so naturally, I had to visit the spot that was just included on Yelp's "Top 100 Croissants in the Country" list! They also were named the "Best Breakfast Sandwich in the State" according to Yelp data a few years back. To sum it up, their reviews are so good because everything they make is so delicious. I combined both of their award-winning items by ordering a breakfast sandwich with an everything croissant. Yeah... it was a croissant with everything bagel seasoning on top. Truly -- does it get better than that? It was UNREAL delicious. It was warm and had Indiana-local city ham, smoked bacon, Gruyère Swiss cheese, medium salsa verde, and "a blanket of soft shallot baked eggs." Pure perfection.I also ordered the blue matcha tea with a splash of almond milk. You can also order the blue matcha latte (in my photos) to get the beautiful latte art on top too. After co-working in the cafe for an hour, I stood up and said "fine, I'll order more" to no one. LOL. Just kidding, but I couldn't resist ordering more. I got the LVTHNTBA (turkey, bacon, avocado) sandwich on a croissant for my husband, as well as the brown butter chocolate chip cookie for the road. Both were incredible. My husband has lived all over Europe and usually says his food is pretty good here... but this? He said this sandwich was AMAZING. And it was takeout and I didn't get it to him for an hour after it was made. And he still said it was incredible. We can't wait to come back again and again.
